A ride isn’t just a ride anymore, it’s an experience. It’s an opportunity to explore our surroundings and ourselves. A chance to venture further or faster. To connect with friends over a shared passion. The new Parlee Ouray is built for all of these things, offering the perfect platform for exploring new roads and seeking new adventures… or just crushing climbs and capturing QOMs/KOMs.
Inspired by the town of Ouray, located deep in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, where all roads deliver epic experiences, this new bike is purpose built for conquering its curvy roads, epic climbs, and ripping descents. Prefer the abundant dusty backroads cutting through the rugged landscape? No problem, the Ouray is the perfect all-road bike for turning this, or any road, into your own personal drop bar playground.
A true clean-sheet design
All-new from the ground up, the Ouray (pronounced “yur-ay”) is a fully modern design with a monocoque frame. It blends Bob Parlee’s 25 years of masterful custom carbon fiber expertise and the brands’ legendary ride quality with a fresh new design and all-new construction. Handmade in the EU, our new precision layup process creates a perfect frame, both functionally and aesthetically.
Each unidirectional carbon fiber ply is meticulously placed to create a frame that requires no cosmetic layers, filler, bonding agents, or paint. It looks so good, it’s our first production bike to be offered in a stunning nude finish! This level of finish quality is extremely hard to do - it’s why almost no one else does it- so we’re proud to show our work.
Light, but not a lightweight
Our unique construction method delivers a true monocoque one-piece frame that’s incredibly lightweight, yet durable enough for real-world adventures. This layup process gives us complete control over the ride quality. In fact, the Ouray is the most comfortable bike we’ve ever made. But, the sloping top tube and dropped stays do more than add tuned compliance for all day comfort. The compact design delivers improved lateral and torsional stiffness for immediate power transfer.
Fully modern, and plays well with others
Clearance for wider 700x38 tires provide confidence on packed gravel and less than perfect asphalt, and updated geometry delivers stable, predictable handling. Modern touches like full internal routing with integrated cockpits, electronic-only shifting, and minimalist front brake mounts combine with proven open standards like a T47 threaded bottom bracket and UDH derailleur hanger for easy (and future-proof) component compatibility.
Built to order
Every frame is made one at a time, in small batches, then individually built to order at our US headquarters. Choose from five frame sizes that can be built in standard or tall configurations, then choose your desired cockpit (including bar width, stem length, seat and seatpost configuration), wheels, tires, drivetrain, and accessories. Parlee #Paintlab has set the standard for custom paint for many years. We offer our full scope of custom paint options on this bike as well. Our team can recreate anything from mild to wild to deliver a bike that is 100% unique to you.The Ouray is the next generation of Parlee, delivering our signature ride quality and handling on a modern machine that’s ready for your next adventure, wherever that may be. This is the ultimate all-road bike.
